^ THE^CITY^
Immigrants.
A number of German immigrants arrived on
the Mai lory steamer yesterday, and in the af-
ternoon iefc for their future homes in the inte-
rior of i he State. They were in the main a
bright, intelligent and substantial looking class
of people.
SHXarriago of an Sx-G-alvostonian.
Major J. H. C. W hite, formerly of Galves-
ton. but now deputy collector of internal
revenue at Corpus Christi, was married in that
city on tlio 11th instant, toMissFanuie Mallory.
The ceremony took place at the Episcopal
church, and was followed by a reception, which
was largely attended by friends and well-
wishers of the bride and groom.
Tho Now School-house.
The now school building on the corner of
avenue K and Twentieth street, having been
Jinished throughout, will be occupied to-day.
It has capacity for amply aud comfortably ac-
commodating 600 pupils. The rooms are large,
well lighted, well ventilated, and in cold wea-
ther can be warmed to an even degree of tem-
Eerature. It is a structure the school trustees
ave a right to be proud of.
Dedicating a Cemetery.
Yesterday afternoon tlie new Catholic burial-
ground, located west of the Fair grounds, was
formally and solemnly consecrated, the im-
pressive services being conducted by Right
Rev. N. A. Gallagher, bishop of this diocese.
There was a very large crowd in attendance.
The grouuds are large, well located, and the
plan upon which they are laid out will, when
more fully developed, make a beautiful home
of the dead.
Whose Fault "Was It?
Complaints are freely made of the way in
which the trains to the Fair grounds yesterday
were run. It was generally supposed that a
train would bo in waiting to carry the excur-
sionists back to the city at the "close of the
game, but to the contrary, they were compelled
to wait out in the open air until about half-
past seven. One gentleman who had not
thought it necesary to take with him his over-
coat, was taken with a severe chill, having to
be carried in arms to the train when it arrived,
were he suffered untold agonies, until he
reached the city, where he could be cared for.

Base Ball*
About 300 people were at the Fair grounds
~r to witness the game of base ball
etween the Hoeston Nationals and the Gulf
City club. Very little interest seemed to be
taken in the game, either by the spectators or
the players themselves. The home club went
to bat first, with Fickerson wielding the wil-
low, getting in a short hit to third, and being
put out on first. Jones, Murphy and Reit-
meir got in eight hits, aud succeeded
in making the runs. Johnston went
out on fly to short, after which
Berkery, Boyd, Kerz and Garther made runs,
closing tho first half of the inning with a score
of 7 runs. The Houston boys went out in a
Kort of a one-two-three order for the first three
innings, making 1 run in the fourth and 4 in the
lifth. with a 0 for the sixth and seventh. The
Guir Citv club scored an additional run in
lae second, third, fourth and fifth innings,
vith a goose egg for the fifth and sixth,
miking a total of 13 to 5, the game being
called on account of the approaching darkness,
-vnry and Reitmeir were the batters for the
iome boys, making good scores. Houston, it
■ :ems, left her batters at home. McDonoujjh
made two of the three runs made by the 2sa-
tiouals.
Berkery had but one passed, ball, McKales
eight. Murphy, pitcher, and Farrell, third
baseman, are the strong points in the Galves-
ton nine, and deserve credit.
Taking the game altogether, it was about
the worst of the season.
The Circus*
John B. Doris's circus and menagerie ar-
rived about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
at once proceeded to make ready for to-day's
performances. The streets were well lined
with people to see the animals, and the mon-
ster elephant was of course a center of attrac-
tion. The Fort Worth Gazette says of the
show:
The performances under the tent were fully up
to the standard of a first-class show. All the ac-
tors are worthy of the rront rank in their various
lines. John Patterson, the inimitable Irish clown,
who made such a hit in the Eastern cities, is one of
the best ring comedians that ever walked on saw-
dust or amused an audience. His famous song,
•• Bridget Donohue," and the echoing chorus by the
whole company received many rounds of applause.
William Showles, the bare-back rider, successfully
performed the wonderful feat of turning a forward
summersault white his horse was in full speed. The
Seigrist brothers are undoubtedly the equals of any
living acrobats and are a great card for the circus,
but the crowning act was the great Zazel. who w.ta
fired from a caunon and successfully walked for-
wards and backwards across an almost invisible
wire.
The street parade to-day will undoubtedly at-
tract crowds to tiie street.
* immediately sailed on h«r return. The steamer
J lies up to-day at Canton for the purpose of
j cleaning hoiiers.
{' Several bund red bales of cotton are on the
( Central wharf for shipment to Vera Cruz by
j the steamship Whitney, which is expected
from Morgan City this morning.
A bark was in sight at sunset yesterday,
several miles to the westward, beating up to
the outer anchorage, but noj communication
was had with her.
A Superb Sight.
The glories and splendors of the Ancient
Orient are reproduced as nearly as artistic
tastes and the most lavish expenditure of
money can do so, in the grand free street
demonstration of the Great Inter-Ocean Show,
and this feature alone is so truly magnificent
that the press and people wherever they ex-
hibited gave the show the additional title,
" Largest aud Best Show on Earth/' and John
B. Doris, the proprietor, very properly adopted
it, and therefore the mammoth concern is
called the u Great Inter-Ocean Largest and
Best Snow on Earth." It will exhibit here on
Monday, November 19.
Tho Fenco Troubles.
Colonel T. L. Odom, member of the legisla-
ture from Runnels county, in conversation
with a News representative last night on the
fence-cutting troubles, took occasion to re-
mark: *: I have read the interview of State
Senator Gibbs, as published in The News this
morning, aud I indorse his views most thor-
oughly. We who live in the district where
these depredations occur know the gravi-
ty of the situation and appre-
ciate fully and thorougly the ne-
cessity of legislative action. As Senator
Gibbs states, both parties are at this time rest-
ing on their arms, as it were, awaiting the re-
sult of legislative action at the special session.
What that legislation will be in scope or extent
I would not undertake to say as yet, but I wiil
say that to satisfactorily dispose of the
troublesome question, it must needs be
stringent enough in its terms and severe
enough in its penalties to haveeffective weight,
else it will not serve even as patch-work to
the trouble. My own idea is that a herd
law should be adopted similar to that in opera-
tion in California. Under such a law stock-
men would be compelled to herd their cattle on
lands owned or controlled by them, and re-
spective rights would come to be given due
regard, while the idea of proprietorship from
mere occupation would soou be lost sight of.
There are now but few men who have fenced
their lands that have not suffered depredation,
aud it seems as though there is no means of
controlling the evil. If the legislature will
c nact^a herd law. I believe a fair solotion of
the problem can be reached. I shall press the
matter iu the extra session as the best remedy
that can be applied to the evil."
Fremont Opera-house.
An honest desire to see and judge upon his
merits a man of whose talent so much has been
said, attracted a very largo and respectable
audiencc to Tremont Opera house last night.
It was uot a mere curiosity-seeking audience
which sat through the six acts of Richard III.
It was iu the main an intelligent assemblage
qualified to fairly estimate the quality of merit
possessed by Mi*. Keene. and fully willing to
accord him his due meed of commenda-
tion for excellence of acting. There were
many who were greatly surprised, and some,
perhaps, who were disappointed in the charac-
terization of Mr. Keene's Gloster. That he is
original can not be gainsaid. In his dress, and
in all the details of the stage action, he employs
a method and presents an interpretation * that
are strictly liis own. He undoubtedly belongs to
the robust school of acting, but in none of the
minutias of his business is he alike to either
Forrest or McCuilough. His voice is scarcely
strong enough to admit a comparison with
either of those exponents of the robust school,
aud his style is so essentially different from
that of Booth or Barrett that he
must be classed as the representative
of his own school, at least in so far as Gloster
is concerned. The first appearance of Mr.
Keene afforded him in the soliloquy an oppor-
tunity to commend himself strongly to his au-
dience, and he did it so effectively that through
the play he held their sympathies and won their
most cordial plaudits." In the development of
the plot there were made strong features of
admirable acting for the star, wnich, had his
support been commensurate, would have
shown him to far better advantage. In
the scene where Buckingham offers the
crown and the people pledge him king, the
effectiveness was marred by the absolute tame-
ness which marked the reading of all the lines
save those of Mr. Keene himself. The dream
scene was not up to a standard with the run of
the preceding work, but as if to make amends,
the combat with Richmond was pitched to an
excellence that was thrilling. Mr. Keeue in
facial expression is gifted as few men are and
exercises that feature of his art with telling
force. Mr. Gotthold presents a good figure
for Richmond, but permits his voice to
break badly in his heroic passages. Miss Story
as Lady Aiin could have been materially im-
proved. Miss Hamblin's Queen Elizabeth at
first gave promise of being tame, but in the
closing liues of the part there was a marked
change for the better. Mr. Hogar as Bucking-
ham was not strong. In fact, the support, it
must be said, is not such as Mr. Keene should
have. Hamlet will be presented this evening.

The following were the cargoes of the Hous-
ton barges arrived yesterday: Lark, 479 bales
ilat and 230 compressed cotton; Diana, o55
bales compressed; No. 1, 538 bales compressed.
The barkentine Anina was towed outward at
4 p. m. by the Continental.
In the afternoon many visitors went aboard
the steamship Alamo, after her arrival at her
berth at Williams wharf.
The usual Sunday quietude reigned along
tho wharves during the day. Few persons
were visible on the wharves. Captains and
masters of vessels were generally beiow in
their cabins enjoying a good read or a Sun-
day nap, while the sailors and hands for'ard of
the mast smoked their pipes, leisurely lounged
around the docks, leaned meditatingly over
the gunwales or snoozed in the dark interior of
the poop. Altogether it was a refreshing pic-
ture of rest, quiet and content in harmony
with the repose of the bay, whose surface, un-
touched by a breath of air, was as placid and
smooth as a sheet of glass.
The steamship I. C. Harris, from Brazos San-
tiago, arrived at 12 :o0 yesterday afternoon,
and after landing a few passengers proceeded
on her way to Morgan City.
The barK Annie Duncan" for Cork for orders;
barkentine Tillid, for Londonderry; and brigs
Dr. Lasker, for Aberdeen, and Kennv, for
Hamburg, which have been in Bolivar "roads
for some days, were towed over the bar yester-
day afternoon aud anchored outside. They
will jjrobably sail to-day. This leave the inner
roads clear of vessels.
The steamship Alamo, Bolger, master, ar-
rived from New York yesterday morning with
a fair freight and passenger" list, and was
berthed at Williams wharf at 7:30 a. m.
Captain Bob Keen aud Engineer Henry
Schroeder, of tho steamboat Vicksburg, will
hereafter run that craft on shares with the
owners. There are now three steamboats in
the Brazos river trade, and there is not a suffi-
ciency of business for all of them.
The steamship Rio Grande, for New York,
reported at anchor in Bolivar roadstead at sun-
set yesterday, passed the bar during the night
and proceeded on her vovage.
The Houston Direct Navigation companv's
steamer Louise came down from Clinton yes-
terday morning with a tow, consisting of the
barges Lark, Diana and No. 1, laden with 1572
bales of cotton, principally compressed, and

The Oleander City Bazaar sells fine goods
with as small a profit as is usually charged for
common staple good6, contrary to the prevail-

finer class of goods. Ladies are appreciating
this fact, evidence of which is their liberal
patronage of the Oleander City Bazaar.

DESECRATING NIAGARA.
How the Environment of the Falls has
Become Unsightly.
The great question of interest here now is,
of course, the carrying out of the park project,
writes a correspondent from Niagara falls to
the Toronto Globe.
It is indeed a pity that steps looking to some
such project as this had not been taken sooner,
and this is especially true of what will be the
American portion of the park. Mills, coal yards,
and railway tracks now occupy aud disfigure
what ought to have been one of the most de
sirable portions of the proposed park on the
American side of the river, and already the re-
quirements of traffic and the demands of indi-
vidual interests are making themselves dis-
agreeably prominent on the Canada side; but
still there is much of natural grace and beauty
left that ought by all means possible to be pre-
served. The construction of a track leading
to the new bridge by the Michigan Central Rail-
way company has already made sad havoc with
the beauties of the romantic-looking cliff above
the Horse shoe fall. For a long distance along
this historic wooded precipice all its sylvan
beauties have given place to an unsightly bank
of red clay. In time, of course, vegetation of
some kiud may take root on this unsightly em-
bankment, but unless some special effort be
made to induce such a result it will be many
years before the injury inflicted thus on
Niagara's environments will be repaired. East
of the convent the pastoral beauty of the grassy-
heights has been almost hopelessly destroyed
by the disposal that has been made of the
material taken out of the excavation for road
bed. The engineering necessities of the work
in this immediate locality have demanded a
long, deep cutting, and a very large portion of
the red clay taken out of this great cutting
has been deposited in irregular and un-
sightly heaps and ridges upon the grassy flats
aud slopes adjacent to the railway. Much
could be doue to mitigate in a few years the
worst features of this act of vandalism, but
unless some effort be made at leveling, top-soil-
ing, and seeding these great stretches of red
clay in the locality, strangers visiting Niagara
will scarcely form a very favorable opinion of
the estheticism of the Canadian people. The
great need of Niagara, however, is the estab-
lishment of the proposed international park.
This will render possible the abolition of many
objectionable features that are continually ob-
truding themselves upon the notice of visitors
here. One of these is the scattering of sign-
boards even in the most conspicuous spots. The
visitor does net like to have a very pretty view-
obstructed by a painful signboard nailed to a
tree in the foreground of the picture he is
contemplating, even though the sign may be
that of some small tradesman, recommending
him to examine his extensive assortment of
"Indian curiosities."
A Stiff Game of Fokera
A favorite pastime on board ocean steam-
ships, says a New York journal, is poker, and
ofteu the stakes are very high. Our English
cousins are especially attracted to the game. A
short time ago a distinguished, company of
lords and dukes came over the water to invest
in Manitoba land, bringing with them the
equivalent of $1,000,000. Upon their arrival
at New York city, they still had their money
in the party, but one man had no further in-
terest in Manitoba lands. He was an object of
charity until he returned home three months
later. " This young man, who is the third son
of a nobleman near the throne, had been given
$50,000 by his father to invest in American
territory.
On the second day out the Duke of Manches-
ter proposed a four-handed game in his state-
room. Fifteen minutes later the game was on.
The pot was at first restricted to £10 ante and
£100 limit. At the end of three hours it was
reckonod up that the heaviest loser was only
£1500 out. Tho ante was raised to £100 and
the limit removed to £1000. This wound up
the third son of nobility in short order. The
third son was dealt a pair of trays and the Duke
of Sutherland received three fives. One of the
other gentlemen threw up his hand, not caring
to come in and make good the blind that had
been straddled by the duke. Manchester, how-
ever, had tho nerve to pay for an entire new
hand. After the third son had drawn to his
Sair of trays, Sutherland to his three fives, and
[anchester had received five new cards, the
hands stood four trays, four fives aud four
sixes respectively, a combination that probably
never came out of any one pack before.
Betting began lively, being started by Suth-
erland. The pot was raised £3000 each time
arouud. Wine had flowed freely and. none of
the gentlemen would back down. Township
after township of Manitoba went into the pot.
The size of the transaction sobered up the par-
ticipants. The third son was the middle play-
er. He had no power to call, and was obliged
to go to the length of his pile. The end came.
The pot was boiling over with £120,000, when
the victim put up his last £1000 and demanded
a sight for his money, which he soon received,
but with bulging eyes.

MARQUIS TSENG.
He is Interviewed*—The Franco-
Chinese Situation*
Paris, November 18.—In an interview Marquis
Tser.g declared that during the last few days the
situation between France and China had become
very critical, owlug to the proceedings of the
French government and the repeated »otes of the
Chamber of Deputies and the juxtaposition
of the Chinese and French troops.
Many well-armed Chinese regulars have
crossed the frortier and encamped
at Bac-Ninh. where they closely watched the move-
menta of the Freuch, notwithstanding the presence
of the French fleet. Thre* army corps of 1000
meu each, and equipped in European fashion, can,
on short notice, march from three different routes
against the French. Among the Chiuese troops
are many European and American engineers.
The Frenoa may be able to throw a
few bomb-shells into Canton. but It
wiil be difficult for their flset to approach the place,
as the water is too shallow. France must first give
warning, if she contemplates a hostile demonstra-
tion to merchant vessels, to all cations there. If
the anton mandarins are energetic,
the natives will fight well, and the French
will find them worthy foemea. China is receiving
encouragement and offers of material aid from all
sides. I have received no communication from
the Freuch government since my arrival in Paris.
1 shall return to Folkestone almost immediately.
Concluding he said China ardently desires peace,
and deplores the fact that the situation daily be-
comes cnore aggravated. She will recognize, how-
regretfully, accomplished facts and leave to
France the towns and fortB captured south of the
Red river. China bos determined, however, to hold
Bac Nlnh against all comers with the greatest
energy.
The passage of the Red river certainly will be
considered a declaration of war. China is per-
fectly aware that Admiral Courbet is preparing for
a campaign against China. He repeatedly sends
telegrams demanding boats of light draught, and it
depends entirely on France to avoid a war. France
must stop at once—to-morrow may be too late.
XTSIiIalXYG'S FATE.
An Old Man Taken from Jail and
Hanged.
Indianapolis, Ind., November 18.—The operator
at Fowler. Ind., reports that a mob have taken Nel- j
ling, murderer of Ada Atkins, from jail and are '
going to take him to Oxford and hang him.
Another Account.
Fowler, Ind , November 18.—About 10:30 to-night j
a man on horseback slowly rode to the jail from ,
the southeast. After riding around the court-house |
he turned, broke and rode rapidly in the direction j
whence he came. In about aa hour after about 300 ;
masked men rode into town. They hitched their !
horses, posted guards to warn away citizens, and
went to the east door of the jail, where they soon ;
found an entrance by breaking down the door with j
sledges. They then quietly, but with great deter- •
ruination, proceeded to break the iron doors lead- j
ing to the corridors. This took some time, I
perhaps half an hour. Soon, however, j
the doors gave away under the skill and labor of j
the avengers. Old man Nelling met them at the '
door of his cell, already dressed and ready to j
go to hi3 doom. He was quickly walk-
ed to a carriage, in which was a !
rope. The only remark that he made was: "Go 1
a little slow gentlemen; I am older than some of :
you." He was taken to Oxford and hanged im- 1
mediately.

Southern Railway Progress.
[From the United States Economist.]
Statistics recently published, says the Rail-
way World, illustrate in a striking man er the
rapid growth of the Southern States in wealth
and railway mileage during the past few 3-ears.
Iu 1S79 the assessed value of the property in
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Ken-
tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia
combined was $2,184,227,547, and in 1S33 the
amount of this assessment had been increased
to $2,824,934,575. It is estimated that during
this period the outlays made to expand the
Southern railroad systems amounted to fully
$300,000,000. The followiag table is published
of the increased mileage of the various Com-
monwealths:

1GO TREMONT STREET,
This large increase represents about one-
fourth of the additions to Mileage made i* all
portions of the Union, and it is being supple-
mented by a considerable amount of new con-
struction now progressing. It is said that in
Alabama four new roads are being built which
will hay. an aggregate length of about ooO
miles. In Florida sixteen liues and branches
are under construction, which will have an
aSSlegate length of several thousand miles,
and two great canals have been projected. In
Mississippi, South Carolina, Arkansas and
other portions of the South a considerable
amount of new construction is now progress-
ing.
One of the great results of the new improve-
ments of the last few years is their marked
effect in giving to a large portion of the South
and her centers of trade and production bene-
fits of through-route and low-rate connections
analagous to those which have contributed so
largely to the prosperity of the Northern
States.
Such aids yearly gain importance as ad-
juncts of indutrial development, aud some of
the effects already noted in the South are an
increase in the value of mineral products of
Alabama, from $4,500,000 in 1S79 to $19,000,000
in 1333; a large increase in the value of tho
lumber products of Arkansas, and a noticeable
advance in the value of the crops of all the
Southern States.
The fact that railways practically form one
of the most important and indispensable
agencies of production has received new il-
lustrations in the recent development of the
South, it is to be regretted that some of her
legislators have unwisely battled against the
prosperity of their own constituents by passing
laws that impose harsh and unjust restrictions
upon railway management.
